I don't think that i will like it very much unless there is a br in the game also,,, and i would only like the AR if they put a burst/single fire feature... and if it was way better than the H1... also, i want NEW weapons. not weapons that i have played in games that are 4 years old...

I loved the AR in the first game. It was the gun that you could always turn to, and it would never let you down. It could get any job done, except for sniping of course.

And mind you, I didn't like the Assault Rifle on higher difficulties, Heroic and Legendary. It turned into a piece of trash on those difficulties. It was more effective to use the Plasma Pistol and Plasma Rifle in corrosponding with a Pistol or Shtogun. Takes 2 to 3 clips to kill anything over a major, that was way too much. I hope in Halo 3 it has more power.

And yet you play Halo 2 every day with the same rocket, sniper rifle, plasma rifle, shotgun, needler, and plasma pistol which are all from that same 4-year old game. Baffling. I'd guess you're just moaning because it's not going to be exactly like Halo 2.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

I am not looking for the source, but if you have read the weekly updates for the past two months Frankie says it doesnt look exactly the same, so you never know it could be something different altogether.

As for a burst feature, you just need to lift your finger off the trigger for a second and then place it back down, I dont get why people are looking for that in an ASSUMED automatic weapon. Yeah Yeah I know what they say about assuming.

I have heard a bit more is going to be revealed in Augusts OXM.

Yes the AR was the trusted weapon when all else failed. It was a mixed powers weapon. Its not too accurate like the BR, and is not hindered by the 3 round burst. The clip was large so It would last you a firefight. I would defiantly support its inclusion into the game. In addition, a great return of the MD6 pistol.

One thing that never made sense to me was the taking out of the MD6. Why would ONI take a scope equipped, explosive round, and over powered weapon, out and replace it with a crummy downgraded version. It just does not fit the story line. The ground battles are really the only time humanity stands a fight with the covenant. Why would they give their soldiers anything but the best and most over powered weapons, they can make.

-blam!- Rage

As you were told by Bungie, "No it is not the Halo:Combat Evolved Rifle" So in answer to your poll...No there isn't going to be an exact remake, just a similar version of the body of the firearm itself.

Keep in mind that this assault rifle will not be the same that was used by the marine forces earlier in Halo, more likely a better, more battle-tested variant of the same weapon.

I loved the assault rifle, but I just hated the sort of thick bumping feeling that it gave off when I used it alot. The sounds didn't really match the weapon to me, but the ammo readout and threshold compass were cool additions. I hope that they bring those two things back, while addressing the sound as well. I want to hear something a little sharper and louder.

Well if they added a burst/single fire feature it wouldn't be the Assualt Rifle would it now? What you are saying in that sentence is you want a different looking Battle Rifle. Also don't worry about new weapons I am sure there will be some.

If you guys read the front page you should know that there are going to be new weapons. Its kinda obvious from one post that theres going to be at least one new weapon
